Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.  My name is Ivy and there’s nothing poisonous about me. Some say I’m silly and sweet, which is true, but I’m also a big love bug.  Outings to the stores, walks, and car rides are great!  But cuddles and belly rubs on the couch are my jam!  I promise to bring endless joy and laughter to your life. My wagging tail and playful antics will brighten up even the gloomiest of days.  If you're looking for a loyal companion who will always keep you entertained, walks easy on a leash, loves children, canine companionship, and tolerates the cat (the one here is a lil sneaky sneaky) look no further! Adopt me, and let's create paw-some memories together. Ivy is a beautiful and affectionate female dog who is overflowing with love to give. With her soft, shiny coat and soulful eyes, she is sure to melt hearts wherever she goes. Ivy is a medium-sized pup, just the right size for cuddling on the couch or going on outdoor adventures. This sweet girl has a heart full of kindness and a playful spirit that is contagious. She loves nothing more than going on long walks, or exploring the great outdoors, and snuggling on the couch with her human friends. Ivy's energy and enthusiasm make her the perfect buddy for an active individual or a family with older children.     If you are looking for a furry friend who will bring sunshine into your life, look no further than Ivy. She is waiting patiently for her forever home, ready to make memories, share laughter, and fill your days with love. Don't miss out on the chance to bring this precious girl into your life.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Alvin is ready for adoption! He’s one year old and about 40#. Alvin is very, very social. He loooooves attention and lives for it. From dogs and humans. He’s a very gentle boy. House trained, practicing to make perfect leash walking, he is killing it and doing better every day. Alvin and his brother came to us knowing how to survive by depending on each other. Alvin is the leader but not by being alpha. He’s brave and curious. Happy, gentle approach. Belly up and lots of kisses. Alvin is very, very playful. He is gentle and happy about love and life. We would love him to be with other dogs, not a deal breaker with an active and interactive lifestyle. If there is room for two we would entertain the brothers going together with specifics of a very large fenced in yard/property. Alvin is a wonderful companion! All vetting is up to date.
